Lovecraft meets crime drama and exceptional dialogue: True Detective (Season 1) In this episode I'm taking a look at this masterpiece of writing to determine what makes it so brilliant in terms of character creation.

Excellent video. I have watched the movie and listened to mayhem and followed the lore since early 2000s. It's still morbidly interesting series of events 🤔
You dressed appropriately. :) I'm portuguese, and I love Moonspell (well, the first three albums, anyway). Was a nice surprise to see you covering them. If you ever cover _Vampiria_ I'll be watching it, because it's my absolute favorite. Or _Of Dream And Drama,_ or _Opium._ Or any other. :)
@skaruts Haha yes 😁 Actually, my next video (which I'm editing now) is covering Moonspell's "Opium"!
This song has it all. The way the music and the vocal variations complement the story, the brilliant poetic lyrics, the sick riffs and backing solos they used to have, etc. It's among the most brilliant songs they've made. I just found your channel, and it's a gold mine. I confess their lyrics always went over my head, because Dani's vocabulary goes through the roof, and my knowledge of mythologies or literature in general isn't that great, so I often have no clue what he's talking about. Your analyses are quite enlightening. Thanks for doing this. :) 🍻
@skaruts Thank you so much, that's wonderful to hear 🖤 It's a beautiful song, very traditionally Gothic in many ways, but also with the band's personal touch that make their songs immediately recognizable by lyrics alone. I hope you'll enjoy my other videos on Cradle of Filth as well! Cheers!
Loved this thanks! I My uneducated guess was that the woman was Lilith :p
@@mattiashedlund3688 Well, Lilith does feature in a lot of their songs as a seductress :D Thank you for watching!
Get me Marry me😢
one with the goosebumps
great
Thank you for watching!
Pornography is one of my favorites as well
This song came on my playlist this morning, and my first thought was to come check if you had a video. Of course you do, because this is one of their best... Great as always. And I'm comment 69?! Nice!
No sure about my first CoF song, maybe Amor e Morte, or Her Ghost in the Fog. Tearing the Veil from Grace is my favorite for sure. Hi from Constanța
Just love your voice and content as always 🖤
@NJD009 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video!
@@dr.metalhead5452 of course 🖤🖤
Finally someone that gets this movie's humor
@@sbonel3224 It was awesome! Thanks for watching!
I've never seen the movie, but it seems rather interesting after watching your analysis. Another good video from Dr Metalhead.
@PeterParker-fx9dl Glad to gear that! I was worried it would spoil the movie for people who haven't watched it xD Thank you!!
Waaa for weak-willed perma-victims. I rejoice in their struggles and tribulations. Survive or succumb. That's the fucking essence of Satan-ism. Stop being a pwhiny bitch about bs hurdles and abuses you've endured and faced and failed to overcome. Learn and be better next time or fucywhinge and cringe and make me laugh at you... mwahahaha
Metal "purity" was always a problem for me. I remember in the '80's that wearing the wrong T-shirt to a show could and often did lead to mockery and violence. Varg and Euronymous were definitely edge lords and fed off of each other's negative tendencies. They also attracted vulnerable people who they may have manipulated to negative consequences. I do like the music though.
@bryanvanhorn6218 I'm glad the culture isn't like that anymore. Sure, we all think the bands we like are better than others (metal or otherwise) and that we're somehow more special for liking them, but acting on that is very childish. Very true. It still feels weird, when watching Varg speak in videos, that he's the same person who made that great music, but it is what it is. Having musical talent doesn't exempt one from character flaws XD Thank you so watching!
I love your videos ❤
Thanks for what you are doing !
@@alessandrovecchio7553 Thank you for watching!!
Moonspell✌✌
Cradle needs more songs with these kind of lyrics 🤩
My favorite song ever!!
please do under huntress moon.brillant analysis 🎉
I love that song! Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!
Please do darkly darkly! Amazing analyst of this album ! I’m watching a show called Lucifer . It fits perfectly with you analysis of “damnation and a day” complete inspiration! 🤟🏽
Очень нравится Ваша реакция ❤😊
Your reaction is awesome ❤
No other CZcamsr can compare to your breakdown and explanation of metal lyrics. Your channel is far too underrated. You need more subscribers. Come on, algorithm, put this woman into every person's suggested videos.
@@PeterParker-fx9dl Thank you so much for watching and for the great comment❤️
CoF is my absolute favorite metal band! I discovered them when Dani Filth did a collaboration with Twiztid called Neon Vamp (yes, the first time I heard Dani, he was rapping 😅) It was my favorite song on the album, so i checked them out. I am not a metal head at all! But i couldn't get over how amazing their storytelling is. That's the end of my rant. Thanks for your video. It was beautiful.
genial show..ar trebui sa cante mai des pe la noi..
@@alinagafu8454 De acooord! 🖤😁
Thanks for doing this, i looked everywhere for a lyrical analysis. You're the only one who did it. Subscribed.
@@anthonybuttaci7233 Thank you for watching and subscribing ❤️ I hope you enjoy my other CoF analyses!
The best female peace of music also very true and it is unleashd right now in our reality i am talking about the actual female part

great job yet again!!!!!!! love watching these!!!!!!!!!!thankyou :)
@@kainewilliams6786 Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!
I do think this is one of their best songs of the álbum, the ending is so poetic and epic, the guitar riffs are fantastic along with the keyboards, it is impressive what they do in order to create the perfect atmosphere of the song
@@xenojones563 I agree! Thank you for watching
Cradle delivers nothing but beauty
True!
How have i not seen your videos before? Love it! I see many more to watch.
Thank you, hope you enjoy them!!

A masterpiece track from a masterpiece album.
*·•|•·LYRICS·•|•·* · I pace- alone In a place for the dead Overcome by woe And here, I've grown So fond of dread That I swear it's heaven • Oh sweet Mary Dressed in grief Roll back the stone • With these words scrawled in Her severed hand Tears fall like shards of glass that band In rivers, like sinners Swept with me to join the *DAMNED!* • The darkened sky The day that laughter died Fell swiftly into night And stayed within Her sight *STARING AT THE KNIFE!* Oh, God, how easy now to sacri-FICE!

I've always believed that his beloved also took her life because of how repetition is phrased in the beginning and in the end. That kinda makes the whole thing even darker. As for other songs that always impress, I think The Death of Love, Heartbreak and Seance and the whole Clarissa trilogy are in the same tier for me.
Indeed, that's very possible, the repetition can suggest now only that the speaker wants to follow her but also to emulate her. I love those songs, too!
This song!! I cannot believe that you reviewed this song!!! I'm so very glad that you did! As you said, it is a masterpiece! This one has a special place in my memories because it is forever linked to a, let's say, uncomfortable phase of my life. Although I had a rough time, I feel somehow nostalgic whenever I hear it. Fortunately it isn't related to the song's ill-fated theme but yet, it was love related (or lack of it, from the loved one). I still vibe with the song aggressiveness and I love to sing along! As always, thank you for your wonderful work!
@Michael_Michaels Thank you for sharing your connection to it! It is amazing, indeed, how it can elicit strong emotions both in people who can relate to its themes (that of lost love, at least) and those who haven't really had experiences like that. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🖤🤘
Ennio Moricone Ecstasy of Gold. First Western i watched with my Father.
That's interesting! That song is very atmospheric and evocative, indeed!
So good as always !! Thank you for doing that song, on the same EP they do a Re Recording of "Summer Dying Fast" have a listen its an awesome cradle song
Hmm lots of Cradle makes me cry lol 😭 3 off top of my head.. Summer Dying Fast Queen of Winter, Throned R*** and Ruin of Angels (HIE)
@@DaniBlazin I can totally understand that 😁 Summer Dying Fast is amazing! Do you prefer the old or the new version?
Either one! 🤘 🍃 ☀️ 🍂 ❄️
In the words of Mr Filth it's just a fucking song

I don’t think anyone takes any Cradle songs, a theatre performance, is to be taken seriously… If you do that, you’ve much deeper issues than a song…
Sweet pick! Gonna watch later 🩸
"Yours Immortaly", "Heartbreak And Seance", "Lustmord And Wargasm", "Lilith Immaculate". Just a few songs that evoke tears.
